You always remember the street you grew up on. Phil Brigandi says, "I grew up in a part of Orange that people talk about as the Presidential Streets." Brigandi wrote "Orange County Street Names A-Z."

"And there's Adams and Coolidge, and a number of names. But not all them, Hoover's another one, not all of them are presidential names. But I happened to grow up on a little cul-de-sac called Hamilton. And more than once, I would meet people, and asked where I lived. 'Out on Hamilton.' 'Oh, that's one of the presidential streets.' No, might be one of the Secretary of the Treasury streets."

Alexander Hamilton, who wasn't a president, was an aide de camp to General George Washington during the Revolutionary War. He was a lawyer, a member of the Continental Congress, and the founder of the "New York Post" newspaper. But he's best known for his duel with rival Aaron Burr, the duel that cost him his life.
